CAIRO Jan 30 (Reuters) – Egyptian opposition forces have agreed to support opposition figure Mohamed ElBaradei to negotiate with the government, a leading member of the Muslim Brotherhood said on Sunday.

Al Arabiya television carried the same report on screen but did not attribute it directly to Eryan.

ElBaradei, the former head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, came back to Egypt on Thursday night, just in time for the “Day of Anger” protests which have left President Hosni Mubarak clinging to power with the army in the streets.

Obama meant the Cairo speech to be another example of his epic oratory skills. Now Egypt is in turmoil and the left is trying to pin it on Bush. Expect more finger pointing as Egypt becomes another radical Islamist state.

NEVER trust a muzzie.

NEVAH!

Wasn’t it Mohamed ElBaradei who concluded that “There is no effort to reconstitute WMD programs in Iraq”?

Is the Obama administration now calling his sincerity into question?

Another gold star for the UN. Dissolve it now, please.

ElBaradei has always been a UN POS. Army will take him out if he becomes too much of a problem.

The situation in Iraq/Afghanistan isn’t much different now than it was 6 years ago, so it’s funny that, if it was Bush’s fault, they waited so many years until they were in the middle of Obama’s presidency to start pulling off these widespread Islamic revolutions, just like they did with Jimmy Carter and Iran.

If Bush was still president these past 2 years, we wouldn’t be seeing this revolutionary action towards greater Islamization, and would have likely less in Iran after their elections.

Mohamed ElBaradei: Pitch man for MB propaganda

“Mohamed ElBaradei, the former head of the International Atomic Enegry Agency and a 2006 Nobel Peace Prize recipient, told ABC’s “This Week” that the people were expecting the U.S. to be on the side of democracy and “let go of a dictator.”

“He’s also saying, I look to the government, you know, i.e., Mubarak, you know, to implement democracy,” ElBaradei said of President Obama’s call for reforms and protecting the rights of the people.

“I mean, to ask a dictator to implement democratic measure after 30 years in power is an oxymoron,” he said. “So they need to let go of [President Hosni] Mubarak. They need to side with the people. They need to go for, you know, transition, smooth transition, through a government of national salvation. This is only way out.”

ElBaradei brushed aside the concerns of the administration and many on Capitol Hill that an opening for the banned Muslim Brotherhood to take greater power in the country could result in an Islamist state. One of the Brotherhood’s former members, Ayman al-Zawahri, is al-Qaeda’s No. 2.

“This is total bogus that the Muslim Brotherhood are religiously conservative,” he said. “They are no way extremists. They are no way using violence. They are not a majority of the Egyptian people. They will not be more than maybe 20 percent of the Egyptian people.

“You have to include them like, you know, new evangelical, you know, groups in the U.S., like the orthodox Jews in Jerusalem,” ElBaradei said.

He said the Islamists were “not at all” behind the uprising. He advocated that Mubarak leave immediately and that the army be negotiated with on a national unity government.

“I does not mean that Egypt will be hostile to the U.S,” ElBaradei said. “This is — again, we traditionally in Egypt, in the Arab world, have always been friends with the U.S., friends with Europe, and I have no doubt that that will continue, but under the basis of a stability and not pseudo-stability, where you are oppressing people in the country.”

News agencies reported Saturday that ElBaradei was headed to Cairo’s Tahrir Square to speak to protesters.”
